The Gnosticism of Barack Obama – Crisis Magazine
Indeed, the Left are Gnostics and every speech at #DNCinPHL illustrates this point.
Speakers provide no analyses, no methods, no proofs, no procedures, no causal chains … nothing dispositive! The Left are much too absorbed with knowing their convictions to worry about how they arrived at their glorious conclusions.
The conclusions are so wonderful that further discussion is pointless. Why bother with analyzing what everyone KNOWS? – the Gnosis! You already have all you need in the conclusion itself, so there’s no point in questioning how it was derived.
Things are so evident to the Left, anyone who doubts them is an evil, neanderthal, racist, homophobic, oppressive, denier of their evident truth. And they mean these things literally. It’s not a close call for them.
So we doubters personify pure evil to them and must be suppressed, shouted down, ostracized, marginalized, ridiculed, and shut up. After all, why would anyone tolerate the continued existence of pure evil? Pure evil does not deserve to live.
Everyone knows this.
